Rod Coating Machine for Laboratory

The rod-type laboratory Coater, driven by a motor, moves the coating rod uniformly across the substrate surface to evenly spread the coating into a wet film of specified thickness. It is used to simulate the roller coating process, test the leveling, hiding power, and other properties of coatings, and is suitable for preparing small laboratory samples on paper and film.
Selection
When selecting, focus on matching the scraper specifications to the coating thickness requirements, ensuring the substrate clamping method suits the sample characteristics, the operational stability affects the coating uniformity, the material's corrosion resistance corresponds to the type of coating, and additional functions such as temperature control are configured according to the experimental conditions.

How to choose a laboratory coater? Which one should you buy: wire bar, scraper, or slot die?
This article introduces three methods for selecting laboratory coating machines: wire bar coating is suitable for low-viscosity coatings, offering low cost and simple operation; blade coating is ideal for medium-to-high viscosity slurries or those containing particles, with a wide range of film thickness control; slot-die coating provides the highest precision and is suitable for high-end applications such as electronic films.
Comparison of Coating Accuracy between Laboratory Blade Coater and Slot Die Coater
This article compares the coating precision of blade coaters and slot-die coaters in the laboratory. Blade coaters are suitable for thick coatings, with simple operation but relatively large uniformity errors; slot-die coaters offer higher precision and better uniformity for thin coatings. The choice of equipment depends on coating thickness and precision requirements.
How to Coat High-Viscosity Slurry – Parameter Setting Tips for Blade Coaters
This article primarily discusses the parameter setting techniques for high-viscosity slurries on blade coaters. High-viscosity slurries exhibit characteristics such as shear thinning, so it is essential to leverage shear effects during coating to facilitate slurry spreading. After coating, the viscosity should recover quickly to prevent sagging.
